  • Roll out the pastry and use it to line a 9 inch quiche dish or a square equivalent. place the in the fridge to set.
  • Meanwhile prepare the filling.
  • Fry the leeks and curly kale in a little oil for 2 minutes or until they are just softened, season with some salt and pepper.

  • Mix the eggs and milk together and add some seasoning, then pour over the top of the flan.
  • Sprinkle with the grated cheese and sliced brie and bake on the base of the baking oven in the oven for 30-35 minutes. if you are in a rush you can bake the quiche in the roasting oven but keep an eye out to ensure it doesn't burn the base.
